The Dutch player beat another English competitor Lorraine Winstanley in the last round and will be looking to get to the semi-finals for a second time, having previously made the last four in 2013.

Brooks lost in the first round of the competition last year.

She will be looking to emulate her 2013 season when she made the World Masters final.
